Offering safe, stable and supportive housing to women and children in crisis and transition in Greater Cincinnati
Lydia’s House sees the daily struggle of poor women in the United States. So much in this article rings true to the work our guests do each and every day. Thanks to our co-director Mary Ellen Mitchell for finding this article and sharing with our wider community.
Mardi Gras, translated as: “Fat Tuesday”, is a celebration to enjoy all rich, fatty foods before the lent fasting season. So on Sunday February 23, Lydia’s House family and friends gathered together for this historic celebration. Food and drinks covered the tables, pizza, fresh veggies, and even green frosted brownies, a real feast. Everyone just milled around reconnecting with those they hadn’t seen in a while or those they had. Or danced to Will Smith’s “Getting Jiggy Wit’ It”. Others got in line at the photo booth to get their pictures taken. Still others raced around the room after children.
